Welcome

The Georgia Academy for the Blind was founded in 1852 to serve the needs of Georgia's students with visual impairments, including those with additional disabilities. Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), we are committed to providing the highest quality educational services to our students and families across the state. We offer day and residential programs on our campus, as well as outreach services and professional learning opportunities.

Announcements

As a result of seeking to be as secure as possible, effectively immediately, our campus is under complete lockdown. The Gates 2, 3, and 5 will be opened from 7 am to 8:30 in the mornings and opened again from 2:30 to 3:30 in the afternoons. Also, we have a few gate operators assigned to remotely open the gates. You simply call them by pressing the Gate operator button shown in the picture.

Once you are parked, remember to bring your license in order to receive a visitor’s badge. To enter the Hendricks school building, remember the only entrance to a door with a bell is the door on the far right. You press that button and you will gain access to this building where you will sign in and receive a visitor’s badge.
